Sobi, a specialised international biopharmaceutical company, and Enable Injections, Inc.

About enFuse injector
The enFuse injector, to be produced by Enable and distributed by Sobi, is designed to streamline and improve patients’ self-administration experience with minimal disruption to their daily lives via the use of enFuse technology.
This allows wearable, hidden needle drug delivery through a simple injection under the skin.
From the CMO: Sobi
"We are dedicated to advancing innovative solutions for the treatment of rare diseases, and this agreement with Enable Injections marks an important step in fulfilling that commitment," said Lydia Abad-Franch, MD, head of R&D, medical affairs, and chief medical officer at Sobi.
“We believe the agreement with Enable will potentially expand patient choice, enhance comfort and support adherence, with the ultimate aim of better health outcomes. By continually improving the patient experience, we are working to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve."
From the CEO: Enable Injections
“The future availability of Aspaveli with Enable Injections’ enFuse technology, could offer more patients the opportunity to access a simplified treatment experience that allows for greater confidence and mobility,” said Michael D. Hooven, Enable Injections' chairman and CEO.
“Enable was founded on the goal of redefining drug delivery for the benefit of patients, and our partnership with Sobi is helping us achieve that. Following regulatory approvals, enFuse will potentially be the first subcutaneous drug delivery device of its kind outside of the US and we look forward to improving the treatment experience of even more patients as we establish additional enFuse partnerships.”
Aspaveli/Empaveli Therapy
Aspaveli/Empaveli (pegcetacoplan) is a targeted C3 therapy designed to regulate excessive activation of the complement cascade, part of the body’s immune system, which can lead to the onset and progression of many serious diseases.
It is approved for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) in the United States, European Union, and other countries globally.
The therapy is also under investigation for several other rare diseases across haematology and nephrology.
